@_cozymoon_ This hasn’t much to do with my thread? You’d have made more sense replying to the article itself! What you’re describing would fall under my umbrella phrase: “what doesn’t work.” But, no, accuse me of loving the U-shaped economy with all my heart instead.

@jamesg_99 Which country's royalty could barely afford a single-room apartment?

This must truly be acknowledged by anyone that “complains.” We have it nice. Better than ever before. I only hope the “shining office towers” and “macbook pros” ditch their spiritual counterparts — soviet bloc residential towers, concrete/glass everything, computer-as-a-facade

the neoliberal mindset is more that we already live like royalty and don't appreciate it enough, and should appreciate and recognize the systems that make it possible

If you spend more than $100 on dinner with a girl who still follows you on Instagram she should reply to your witty DM that playfully rejects her slightly inflammatory cultural critique

"Late stage capitalism" was coined by Werner Sombart in 1914. Socialists have been calling it "late stage" for over a hundred years now.

Romy@Romy_Holland

why does everyone use the term “late stage capitalism” all the time? how do they know which stage it is? we might still be early.

@bildredax @cairoasmith Making an example out of the Geisel Library is poor taste. When I think of “Brutalism” (you must not approach it this way) I don’t think about the 10 best projects. I think about the 10 worst, and they’re everywhere: parking garages, highway ramps, stripe-glass box buildings, etc

@jamesg_99 @cairoasmith The AI paint job looks cool, and the actual building looks cool as well. That much brutalist architecture is horribly botched doesn’t invalidate the idea itself.

Cairo Smith@cairoasmith·4d

There's a common misconception that Brutalist buildings were unpainted, but thanks to microscopic analysis of the exteriors we can now recreate what they looked like in their prime.

@bildredax @cairoasmith This is AI, you don’t need to rely on it in order to source your understanding of what I mean. Raw concrete does not look good to me.

@jamesg_99 @cairoasmith The idea that buildings should look cool in themselves without a bunch of makeup and fillers is valid, actually

This is a great way to show why a Land Value Tax is better than a property tax

Trevor Acorn 🔰🌹🇺🇸🌎@trevoracorn

If we raised the property tax bill on the blue lot to match the others on a $/SF basis, the overall tax bill for the houses/businesses would go down. People who want to see lower property taxes should be all over this!

While we've seen great transformation in Detroit, I'd like to point out that the number of vacant homes in Baltimore has decreased by 25% in the five years of Mayor Scott's tenure. Never bet against America's cities.
